in june of 2010 president obama accepted the general's resignation after the release of a rolling stone article. that article highlighting some of the general's comments to the staff about the president and his administration. those comments caused controversy. for some that thought he was being critical of the commander-in-chief. here's his take on the situation. >> oo we did a number of media engagements through out the time i was there. one of the things i had to do was explain the war in afghanistan to people in europe, to afghans, to american leaders, but also to families. people whose sons and daughters were fighting. they had a right to that transparency. we gave access to a wide variety of media to improve periodic enbeds. the rolling stone was one of those inbeds. in this particular case the account that that reporter produced was very different from my interpretation of events or the nature of my staff who i have extraordinary regard for. listen, i was a commander. when you are in command, whether you like the outcome or not you accept responsibility. that's what i did. >> tak

a new report out today from the migration policy institute says the obama administration spent $18 billion on immigration enforcement last fiscal year and that amount, get this, is more than the budgets than all other federal law enforcement agencies combined. nonpartisan think tank focuses on global immigration issues and the report found that u.s. government has spent more than $187 billion on immigration enforcement laws since 1986 and since then, there have been more immigration-related criminal prosecutions than cases generated by the justice department. npi concludes because of the money spent the actions taken and the case volume, it is fair to say the obama administration has made immigration enforcement its highest criminal law enforcement priority. >>> the administration's economic priority right now is the raising of the debt ceiling. u.s. has gotta lift it by the end of february or early march or else it will default on its fiscal obligations. this should be a routine exercise but republicans once again are threatening to hold the debt limit increase hostage in exchange for spe
